At least 13 people were shot in a drive-by shooting in Chicago on Monday night, police said.
According to Chicago Police Chief David O’Neill Brown, the incident happened around 9:30 p.m. when a crowd gathered on the corner of California Avenue and Polk Street.
Another person was hit by a car at the scene, Brown said at a news conference.
Police earlier said 14 people had been shot, but revised the number to 13 in a statement earlier Tuesday.
Among the victims were children, including a 3-year-old boy, an 11-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy, the police statement said.
Victims were transported to several area hospitals in conditions ranging from non-life threatening to critical, officials said.
Brown said a group of people gathered for a vigil on a street corner when the shooting took place.
“There are probably other people coming together for all sorts of other reasons,” Brown added. “You know, it’s a very ordinary corner where people gather and have different meetings and gatherings. ”
Police said in a statement that two people in a black SUV opened fire at people around the corner and drove away.
Investigators obtained video from the scene that showed the shooting occurred within seconds, Brown said.
He encourages anyone with information about the incident to contact law enforcement or leave an anonymous tip via CPD Tips.
